Derrida and Husserl

Résumé

It is well known that Eugen Fink's 1933 Kantstudien essay, "The Phenomenological Philosophy of Edmund Husserl and Contemporary Criticism," finally expanded the French understanding of Husserl's phenomenology; in particular, Fink introduced terms such as "act-intentionality," "radical reflection," and "archeology," terms which Merleau-Ponty would adopt in his discussions of Husserl.
